My Winter Coat

Our joy is like a fortress the devil can't get past.
Even when life is difficult we know it will not last.

The trials of this world, are not going to shake us
Because our God is faithful and he will not forsake us.

My faith is like a winter coat that warms me to the core.
The chills become a memory but bother me no more.

Wind and rain are sure to come, I have some solid ground.
Steady because my rock is firm. In you I will be found!

My joy, my life, does not depend on outward circumstances.
We only have one life to live there is no second chances.

A life lived to serve myself is work without off-season:
I ask you Lord, that in my life, you would be my reason.

No longer servant of this world - take me and all my ways!
My hearts desire to know you - meet me in all my days!

And if I serve and if I bleed: in service of the lamb.
Let it not all be in vain - take me and all I am!
